A few years back, the folk musicians responsible for the charming songs used on Bagpuss went on tour. Imagining only a handful would turn up to the venue in our God-forsaken corner of the world, I was pleasantly surprised that a good crowd turned up to revisit the innocence and magical memories Postgate invoked.

Postgate and Firmin's work is timeless and whimsically gentle; qualities I wish more of today's kids would appreciate. On explaining the more repeated SmallFilms programmes to a niece only a few weeks back, she replied, "But they're so lame...". Ah, but will they remember High School Musical so fondly thirty-odd years on?
